>>You wanna lay odds on Trump calling for Venezuelan elections?<<
As opposed to what? Them agreeing to rename Venezuela "Trumplandia"? Trump has already said there aren't going to be any elections. He and his cronies are going to run it, to maximize their personal profits.
You might like to review the new laws that the "Coalition Provisional Authority" imposed on Iraq, for the profit of US corporations. I recall one, off the top of my head, about grain seed. For centuries, Iraqi farmers had saved a bit of each year's crop, to use to seed the next year's crop. The CPA gave the farmers Monsanto, patented, seed. It was a patent infringement to use part of the year's crop, as seed for the next year. So, every year, Iraqi farmers who had been suckered into discarding their heritage seed, had to pay their tithe to Monsanto, for seed.
ah, the net is a wonderful thing.

Law May Bar Iraqi Farmers From Replanting Seeds
The U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq laid down a host of laws covering everything from stock markets to the ownership of new kinds of agricultural crops. An order on agricultural plant varities has provoked protests from activist groups. The law may prohibit farmers from replanting seeds from their own harvest, and it's more restrictive than American laws.
